Fishing For Fishies has also come in at #10 on the Independent Albums chart, #22 on the Alternative Albums chart and #43 on the Rock Albums chart. 


The multiple chart placings has also helped King Gizzard climb the Emerging Artists list to place at #14, alongside big names like Lauv, Mabel and Splendour 2019 act, Catfish & The Bottlemen.

Meanwhile, Sydney's Hillsong United have charted on the Top 200 list at #2 with their live album, People, as well at #1 on the Top Album Sales chart.
